There have been some very ungracious comments on this blog recently, which is a great shame as I know a lot of hard work goes into getting the posts together and publishing them. People with a genuine interest in Hyde (especially those living far away from it) will appreciate the link with home which this site provides. Even if a post isn't of particular interest to them, they will still read it and, hopefully, learn something from it.<br /><br />As I see it, you are contributing nothing of interest to this post on the bus station, but merely sparring with Barry in Oz on trivia, and then you accuse folk of being too serious. Please allow people who have things worth saying to say them without criticism. Otherwise they just might become so disillusioned that they withdraw their support of the blog.<br /><br />Susan Jaleelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-91872186296106327422012-09-22T09:21:47.585+01:002012-09-22T09:21:47.585+01:00Barry in OZ, glad to see that you took it for a la...Barry in OZ, glad to see that you took it for a laugh, that what it was meant for, not to offend.

The great inconvenience if you lived in Gee Cross was that the 210 trolley bus service never went into the bus station and, getting off any other bus that did meant you still had to walk up to the market for the bus home. I seem to recall that before the bus station, all the different bus services were spread across the town centre - 125 to Manchester stopped in Greenfield Street, Dukinfield/Stalybridge/Mossley in Clarendon Street, Shaw Hall in Hamnett Street, Stockport/Marple/Gee Cross opposite the town hall. In the old days there used to be a bus to Mottram which ran infrequently . The route took in Stockport Road, Lilly Street, Werneth Avenue and Mottram Old Road. We always travelled that way to Mottram Show.Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-67887596161055701852012-09-21T14:53:14.133+01:002012-09-21T14:53:14.133+01:00The bus station was built in 1963The bus station was built in 1963Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-91639919628271217622012-09-21T14:02:13.608+01:002012-09-21T14:02:13.608+01:00Barry in Oz here, When I was a lad there was no Bu...Barry in Oz here, When I was a lad there was no Bus station there.
